Frequently Asked Questions
“I had surgery in 2010, the incision broke open, which left me with a wound the size of my hand. during the next seven months it never completely healed. I had two holes the size of a golf ball that wouldn't heal. During the seven months I continued to pray for a healing. My insurance ran out on wound care but I continued to trust God. Sunday Jan. 16th during prayer at the alter pastor laid hands on me and anointed me with oil. Monday morning when I went to change the bandage the would was not only close but healed over! Thank you to Pastor Randy and the fellowship of Clinton Valley Assembly of God for praying and being with me through this time."

What happens during the church service?
While not every service is exactly the same we typically will spend 20-30 minutes worshipping God in song. We will then have a time of prayer and exhortation; some announcements about upcoming events, receive an offering, and then a sermon is given with an opportunity to respond.
What can I expect during worship time?
We believe worship should be participatory, that is, that everyone is invited to worship God. That is why we display the words on the screen.
You may not be familiar with the words the first time you are here, but as the weeks and months unfold you will become more familiar with them.
You may see people lift their hands in worship, perhaps kneel during worship. These are responses to God that are Biblical, that is, we are encouraged to do them according to Scripture. You may hear someone worship in what is refered to as ‘tongues’.
Please see the brochure entitled, “Our 16 Doctrines” for more information.
What can I expect during the sermon?
We strive for excellence in all of our ministries and that includes the sermon. The Senior Pastor typically gives the sermon and attempts to share a sermon that is inspiring, thought provoking and relevant.
Without shame, it must be Biblically accurate, that is, everything said needs to be supported and agree with what is written in the Bible.
The Bible is our standard for preaching and for living. It will generally be about 30-40 minutes long, followed by an opportunity to respond to what was spoken
I am a guest. Will I have to stand up and say anything?
No
